not sure how to link or even if it would work since these are from old dispatch articles, but thought it was interesting (fyi: these, obviously, are not the entire articles, so i thought posting a portion would be ok):
Junior tailback Isaiah Pead, who helped Eastmoor Academy to the playoffs, was named Division IV co-offensive player of the year on the Associated Press All-Ohio team.
Pead, a track star playing his first year of football, rushed for 1,747 yards -- averaging nearly 10.5 yards per carry -- and scored 25 touchdowns as Eastmoor went 7-4.
He shared the honor with quarterbacks Dan McCarthy of state finalist Youngstown Cardinal Mooney and Kyle Simmons of Orrville. McCarthy ran for 1,150 yards and 13 touchdowns and passed for 500 yards during the regular season.
(note spelling of first name is different)
also, from preseason:
Eastmoor Academy
* Coach: Jim Miranda (year at school: fourth; career record: 63-69)
* Last year: 7-3, 6-1 (second in league)
* Top returnees: TB-CB Isaiah Pead (5-11, 175, jr.); QB-SS Terrence Drakeford (5-9, 160, jr.); FB-LB Justin Booker (5-10, 210, sr.); WR-DB Ryan Sawyer (5-10, 170, sr.); TE-DE Nathaniel Green (6-3, 205, sr.); WR-DB Aaron Mackey (6-3, 171, sr.)
also note that first story mentions "his first year of football'' but the preview article lists pead among top returnees. if '06 was, indeed, his first year of football, then, WOW!

I'm surprised we haven't heard of him earlier considering the recognition he's received and how he's been recruited since his sophomore year.
I agree that he's a tailback, but he could probably be an equally talented corner, safety, or receiver.

the video on him is unreal, to me, he looks like a reciever, at least at osu, but this guy has got to be at the top of the list for next year

Not even close to the top of the list next year, IMO. We have bigger fish to fry.

That's all I needed to hear...thanks, Wes.
To others who never answered my question, just because he's from Eastmoor doesn't guarantee he's looking at OSU or vice versa.

Couldn't make out any teams in the first 2:00 of his HL vid. Good competition?

Eastmoor plays in the South Division (My school is in the North). It used to be Red and Blue divisions before 2003.
Eastmoor is a Division 4 team.........but take into consideration that almost every other team in the City League is Division 2, with the exception of Africentric (D5). They face big D2 schools.
Is there interest with him and OSU?
